today i picked up my ls2 motor its out of a 06 trail blazer ss with 6k miles on it got it for a great deal

Really clean work...Just wondering what did you do to clean and strip the frame. Also the L99 engine has VVT, and if I'm correct, the water pump should have some kind of spacing to make room for the larger timing cover associated with VVT engines. If so, what other accessories are you running (Car or truck)? I'm just curious to see what spacing is like for all the pulleys. Thanks and keep up the great work!

I would love to see some detail on how u install these and how u make your gauge pod. Great build btw keep up the great progress.

I will be making the gauge cluster tomorrow using a 1/8 thick textured abs plastic sheet in place of the stock cluster. tonight im fabing up the core support to inset the radiator into it. when you come in town next hit me up and check out the truck

how well does the ls6 intake seal up on the ls2 heads because ls2 heads are cathedral ported on the intake side and ls6 intakes are setup to be on rectangular ported heads im not tryin to be negative or rip on your build I was just was wondering and thaught I would ask

Ls6 and Ls2 have cathedral port heads. The newer 6.2l and a few 6.0 come with the square port heads.

Couple questions, what PCM are you using? It looks like it only has 1 plug on your harness for the PCM, mine has 2, Red and Blue. Why did you get a Corvette tensioner if your running truck accessories, isn't the spacing for the belt going to be off, causing you to space out the tensioner, or does it mount on the waterpump? Did that engine have the stock GM red plug wires on it, and if so, do you want to sell them? Please feel free to pm me back on this question. Looks like a great build!

with the newer camaro water pump (L99) you have to use the that tensioner with the truck pulley on the tensioner to get everything to line up so the belt fits. I did the same thing on mine and work great.
nice looking build, cant wait to hear it run
